Comments

- Heavy wet snow from the road to the notch. After the notch the snow quality improved a bit but still wet.

- At 1400m, the snow depth was around 120cm.

- We didn’t make it to Feather bowl due to poor visibility and stormy condition.

- If the visibility was good, riding condition would have been ok.

- There’s was a fine crust forming from the notch to the bowl due to colder and windy condition.

- There was moderate to strong wind in the glacier area.

- 3°c at road level
